Iron Standard Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: I have been having hip problems to the point of where sitting and sleeping were very uncomfortable. I scheduled an appointment with Iron Standard with the goal of alleviating my hip pain. The PT was super quick to respond and scheduled the appointment with me that same day, so I was able to be seen pretty quickly that week. My PT asked what was going on and he immediately knew what to do. We did a dry needling session along with some stretching and exercise. The next morning, I woke up with tremendous relief. Now (4 days post session), my hip pain has reduced significantly and am now longer uncomfortable sitting at my desk to work. I highly recommend these guys because it is super convenient to be seen and most importantly, the depth of knowledge they have when it comes to physical therapy is unmatched.

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give 6 stars, I would. Taylor did an excellent job addressing my needs and working to fit into my schedule. He was willing to meet at the gym at 5am to evaluate and treat me. I went to them because of a quad strain and through manipulation, dry needling and guided corrective exercises I was able to continue competing and hitting PRs

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Iron Standard after an injury where I strained/tore both MCLs and had a meniscus tear. Mitchell met me at a gym right in my neighborhood and was super flexible with scheduling. My first few appointments were some manual stretching and some light exercises to build up the muscles that support the knee. As we progressed, we worked up to mostly doing exercises, always letting pain be our guide and not pushing too far. In 7 weeks I went from not being able to straighten my legs to having no MCL pain and doing weighted squats and lunges! Mitchell also has helped me transition to classes at the gym we meet at and has talked to the gym trainer to make sure were all on the same page. Hate that I got hurt, but so glad I found Iron Standard!

Experiencia fantástica: Taylor has been amazing. He explains everything well and listens to my concerns. He created a custom plan for me and is encouraging and always willing to help out if new issues come up.

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Standard Physical Therapy has helped me tremendously with my fracture to my elbow. Before i could barely straighten out my arm and it hindered me in my daily activities. Within a few visits i was back to doing my activities with no problem at all. The staff is very professional and accommodating. I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: This experience has exceeded expectations. I struggled to do anything athletic because of the stiffness and achiness in my back. I had been to regular PT with little success and was starting to think this might be a lifelong issue. My guy Taylor has helped be start to get back to feeling closer to normal than I have in months in just 3 sessions. Although it might seem expensive, it’s worth the investment if you’re trying to get better.

Experiencia fantástica: There really isn't enough room in this text box for me to list all of the positive things Iron Standard PT has done for me. I've dealt with back pain for years and it was to the point where I was not only completely frustrated with it, but I felt lost because I could never find the right answer for some relief. Lucky me I found their instagram page, scheduled a phone call for the very next morning and met them in person two days later for my in person assessment. The therapist listened to all of my complaints and my history of how everything progressed. He asked questions and was incredibly thorough and caring. He told me day 1 that he thought he could get me back to running, something I used to love so much. Here I am 6 weeks later and I ran a mile this morning with no pain. Iron Standard PT saved my life in more ways than I could say. They lifted me up when I was down and encouraged me to keep pushing when I doubted myself. I'm blessed to have found them.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Iron Standard with shoulder pain from bursitis. Two weeks into my therapy my pain is gone!! I’m gaining strength in my shoulder and have been able to perform an overhead squat!!! It is so wonderful to be pain free!!! Thank you, Mitchell and Iron Standard!! Elizabeth Key

Experiencia fantástica: I had nagging shoulder pain for months. It was affecting my sleep, my workouts. I tried to work through it at the gym thinking it would get better but that was not the case. I finally made a physical therapy appt. Got assessed and was given a plan and have been following that plan for just a couple of weeks and am already seeing huge improvement in my shoulder pain! I wish I had done this sooner! I highly recommend Iron Standard Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service! I fell great and they came to my office.

Experiencia fantástica: I started playing beach volleyball last year and have been having tons of fun with it. I’m still learning the proper technique. With improper form, I injured my shoulder. I started with Iron Standard about 8 weeks ago through an Evaluation. I had a 50% referral deal from a friend. When starting I couldn’t lift my arm over my head through the pain and stiffness. After that eval and 6 sessions, I am back in the gym and feeling great. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Iron Standard. The staff is incredibly nice and extremely qualified.

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Taylor to help with my TMJ pain. He is a wizard with dry needling and I felt instantly better. Do yourself a favor and go see Iron Standard!

Experiencia fantástica: My name is Jake Kimbrough and I’m the owner of The Fit Facility Bham located in Crestwood. We have partnered with Iron Standard from their very beginning, and since then they have provided our clients with invaluable physical therapy services while being the upmost professionals. One of these services are the workshops that they hold for members of the facilities that they partner with. The Iron Standard guys held a workshop at The Fit Facility focused on shoulder health and mobility. The PT’s are all very knowledgeable and our members really enjoyed the experience of learning proper technique and strategies to help prevent and lessen shoulder injuries. I would recommend these guys to any facility that is looking to provide a better value and service to their clients! You really can’t go wrong with them.

Experiencia fantástica: I could talk forever about how highly I think of this team. Taylor, Danny, Michael, Mitchell.. you guys are shifting the paradigm back to where it needs to be. The whole team takes a holistic approach to treatment and looks at the body as a whole while treating the “problematic” segment at hand. They are incredible at listening and putting together the pieces to get to the root of the problem and get you back moving. I can’t thank you guys enough for helping me with my shoulder, elbow, and wrist issues and helping me stay on the competition floor and keep doing the things I love.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so glad that my gym partnered with Iron Standard. I took a free mobility class and was able to really talk with one of the DPT’s. Michael listen, watch my movements and took note on what I said was hurting and what I thought was wrong based on what the orthopedic and other PT said. The major difference was the fact he listen and worked with me and not just what the Dr wrote down. The team at Iron Standard really have a heart and a drive to make you feel better without the need for the shots, drugs and standard movements. This was my third and final shot at PT. I was tried of doing the same thing over and over without different results. Michael said ok and let’s get started. I’m so happy with my results and feel blessed that even though I’ve completed my therapy the team still checks in and ask if I need help. Thank you team at Iron therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I chose Iron Standard PT, because I was really interested in learning lifelong techniques and exercises to help manage my back, hip and glute pain. I’ve done traditional PT in the past where you come to an overcrowded office, someone gives you some exercises and you leave. Pain is better for a bit but always returns. Since some of my pain involves my glute and tail bone, I have always been more nervous to seek help with this. I can’t tell you enough how happy I am I called Iron Standard. From my first evaluation, they have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. When we started I was having trouble walking up stairs or making it through half a day of work without debilitating low back and hip pain. Iron Standard helped me not only relieve the pain with dry needling, stretching, massage etc but really helped get to the ‘why’ behind my pain. They developed a plan to help me build strength and flexibility, and I have been shocked by the results. I am only halfway through my sessions, and this is the best I’ve felt in years. I now go days at work without even thinking about back pain. I have also enjoyed the confidence Iron Standard has given me in the gym with weightlifting and strength building. I would 100% recommend Iron Standard PT to anyone who is ready to start feeling better!

Experiencia fantástica: Great physical therapy company! I received dry needling to help ease migraine pain. They also provided stretching exercises to prevent them from occurring in the future. They took time to listen to what was going on. I was able to make an appointment when it was convenient for my busy work schedule and met them at a local gym!

Experiencia fantástica: I chose to go to Iron Standard Physical Therapy after developing low back pain that worsened with running. I had heard good things about them from friends. The initial paperwork they emailed me was straightforward and easy to complete. I was able to get an appointment in a timely manner. The therapist who saw me did a thorough job in evaluating me. He seemed to be able to quickly determine the cause of my pain from the history and his exam. What I really liked was that he went ahead and treated me in that first session, explained everything in a way I could understand, and gave me exercises that he went through and had me perform to be sure I was completing them correctly. Later that day, he emailed me the list of exercises with a link for each exercise showing a video of how to perform the exercise. I felt much better after the treatment and was able to run pain-free later in the week. Very professional. I will definitely go back if I have other issues. I highly recommend this company.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t brag on these guys enough! They have helped me with therapy on my lower back. They made adjustments and planned out exercises and weight lifting that has strengthened my back issues tremendously. I would have never considered dry needling but it is INCREDIBLE when you are in pain. I am signing up for continued therapy with Iron Standard because they have improved my lifestyle and helped me maintain a great physical program. BCMidd

Experiencia fantástica: I started physical therapy with Iron Standard to address some chronic pain, weakness, and deficits related to an injury that happened almost 20 years ago. Through the treatment and coaching I have received over the past month, my mobility has improved, my pain has lessened significantly, and a lot of chronic tightness has relaxed. They will meet you wherever it is most convenient for you. I’ve done several sessions at my gym and at my home. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I turned to Iron Standard Therapy when I experienced severe reoccurring right shoulder pain while playing volleyball. With only ONE session (full body assessment, hands on work, at home exercise list and dry needling with stimulation included) my shoulder pain was resolved and has not returned, even with me still playing at a high level. Now, I'm having therapy done for a lower back pain that's persisted for years. My therapist has helped me unlock the holistic answer on why this pain occurred and how to resolve it. My sessions for this area have made a HUGE impact with immediate relief following my appointment. Now, it's on me to continue with the exercises laid out for me by my therapist to strengthen the muscle groups necessary to prevent it from reoccurring. Not only is the session itself incredible, but I have the knowledge and tools to strengthen and heal myself outside the appointments as well.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had pain and tightness in my upper back for about a year and half, and after starting CrossFit a year ago, my eyes were opened to how much this tightness in my back was limiting me in the gym. Certain movements have just been impossible for me due to this lack of mobility. I’ve tried stretching and foam rolling on my own with no improvements. One movement in particular that I was never able to do is an overhead squat. This has bothered me because I knew I had the strength to lift heavy weight, but my body was just too tight. I began physical therapy with Iron Standard and things have improved immensely. It is a commitment to do the stretches and exercises I’m prescribed to do on my own, but they are effective and helping my back and shoulders open up like I need them to. I can now successfully do an overhead squat and even reached a weight of 75 pounds- which is amazing considering I couldn’t even do it with a PVC pipe before I began therapy. I would highly recommend their services if you are looking to decrease pain and improve your performance in the gym!

Experiencia fantástica: I can not say enough good things about Iron Standard Therapy. I had a shoulder injury for about 6 months and I had tried all the things I knew to do without getting any relief. It was keeping me out of the gym some days and if I went I wasn’t able to perform the workouts that were programmed. In fact it got so bad that it was bothering me all day everyday no matter what I was doing. After my first visit I could tell a difference. My range of motion was a bit better, my pain wasn’t as bad and the numbness was gone. By my third visit I was PAIN FREE and could do all the workouts that I could not do before. My therapist checked in on my 2-3x a week to see how things were and to follow up with any issues that I may or may not have been having which was helpful in answering any questions about my “homework exercise.” I would recommend this group to anyone that ask me. They are there to get you back on track if not better than before. They focus on you and your needs on an individual basis and not just bounce around seeing 2-3 other clients at the same time. I am thankful for this group of individuals especially my therapist!

Experiencia fantástica: I can't recommend these guys enough. I came in with a slight abdominal injury and tried out their dry needling procedure to help with it. In one session the results were amazing. I was almost pain free! Was able to get through my day and work out the rest of the week without issue. Did one more follow up appointment and I'm back to normal. If you're looking for someone to help you with any injury you need PT for, these folks provide super individualized care that's worth the money.

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Standard Physical Therapy has been nothing short of an amazing experience. The staff truly cares about their patients well being and works with you to find the best method for your healing. I have been doing dry needling with Iron Standard for several months and have seen huge improvements! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Taylor at Iron Standard taught me how to manage and eliminate my lifelong TMJ pain and the accompanying headaches. Taylor is a fantastic teacher and guide when it comes to learning how to move and manipulate your body on the journey toward health. I did a package of sessions and I would recommend such for anyone else struggling with jaw/head pain associated with teeth grinding/clenching. He always made the sessions pleasant and listened to my feedback.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so pleased with my experience with Michael and Iron Standard! Not only did my injury get relief but I am back working out and I have learned a lot!!

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Standard really is setting a new standard for community physical therapy in Birmingham. Taylor, Danny, and Michael give you personal access to their contact information so whenever you have questions or need something they are there to help. Their knowledge and service is impeccable and they are extremely amicable to all people. I definitely recommend a recovery session and if you do get injured and are anywhere near Birmingham. You need to use Iron Standard... The new standard in physical therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: I was struggling w pain in a couple areas during certain movements while exercising. I met the Iron Standard guys at my gym and was impressed with the clinic they put on for the athletes. I have had a great experience working with all the therapists. They are very accommodating and flexible working with my schedule. I highly recommend them! I’m now able to perform the movements that used to give me trouble with no pain and the tools to take care of myself going forward.

Experiencia fantástica: Mitchel, Taylor, Michael, are great guys. They are very down to earth and practical in their approach to therapy. They are quick to acknowledge that not everyone wants to run a marathon or be able to dunk from the three-point circle. Mitchell and I sat down and consulted with me about my issues, my challenges and my goals, specifically. Then we worked on a ability assessment to set a baseline of where I was. I've been through standardized P/T multiple times. You to go their facility, you step on blocks you pull on bands, you lay on ice, you go home. It's more like a circuit workout room everyone else there is doing the same thing. There was not discussion of where you were before or where you wanted to get, just this concept of what was "normal". ISPT doesn't care about what's "normal". If you just need to be able to bend down to pick up a dropped pen, if you want to run a marathon next month, or if you're like me and you just want to go fishing without having to ice your knees for three days after, Mitchell is awesome. He also drives across town at 4am to meet me at my gym. So I do physical therapy in a place where I am comfortable, on the equipment I work out on and on my schedule. As far as results, my program is getting to a physical point and then maintaining. I've been on for six weeks (with several delays due to covid and weather) and I am confidently half way to the maintenance point. I would gladly recommend Iron Standard to anyone for P/T.

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Standard goes way beyond a normal assessment to find the problem--they look to solve the problem, not just make the symptoms go away! There's a HUGE difference! These guys know what they are doing!

Experiencia fantástica: Before I came to Iron Standard I had back pain on and off for years. It would leave me struggling to even stand up and walk. It would normally happen in the gym, and I would have to take a great deal of time to get back to even close to normal. The staff at Iron Standard is amazing. They are quick to respond, and I believe that they always have my best interest and health in mind. I chose Iron Standard because nothing else had worked, and I had heard that they were great. I would definitely recommend them for many reasons. A few of them are their constant support and feedback, the ability to take what they have given me and learn how to work with my pain to get back to normal quickly, the results, and they continue to work with excellence. Now, I can squat, deadlift, and work out as normal without fear. Even if I feel something flare up, the staff at Iron Standard has equipped me to get back to normal on my own, and if that doesn't work, they are quick to respond and help.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Iron Standard Physical Therapy has been my best physical therapy experience I have had. The one on one approach gives more time to getting to the root of the problem. Time is given to listening to a full history of the injury (or prior injuries that might be an impact on the current injury) with reevaluation each session. Therapists stay in contact with you between sessions.

Experiencia fantástica: Today, I did my first CrossFit Open workout ever. A couple of months ago, I couldn’t even squat a 35lb bar without pain (and wanting to quit). I’ve been battling an old meniscus tear on and off for years, but it wasn’t until I started working with Iron Standard that I started to feel confident again. The one-on-one work and the homework exercises have strengthened my muscles around that problematic knee extraordinarily in a short amount of time, and have given me the ability to work with the problem instead of against it. I’ve watched my knee go from puffy and achy every time I tried to do a very basic workout, to minimally irritated after a really hardcore workout. These guys are top notch. It was totally by luck that I found them at my home gym when they were there for a clinic, but I’m so very glad I did! If you are struggling with an injury that feels like it’ll never get better, call Iron Standard and let them change your ability and perspective.

Experiencia fantástica: I initially came to Iron Standard for my hips. They were in so much pain that it made it difficult to even get up from a seated position. Danny worked with me and developed a plan to help eliminate the pain. I currently have 0 hip pain and I’m back to 100%! I am so happy and would highly recommend the guys at Iron Standard! Thank you for everything!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience has been nothing but positive. Can't beat the concierge service. So easy - my therapist literally comes to my office for treatments, and he is availabe 24/7. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Taylor was so helpful and kind! He worked with me on my back pain with dry needling and exercises. He’s very knowledgeable, explains everything as you go, and makes the whole process comfortable and enjoyable. So glad to have found Iron Standard!!

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Standard PT is a top notch company! I was seeking out help for my constant low back pain while working out. Danny immediately sat down with me, listened and consulted to figure out the root issue. He provided me with stretches and exercises to help strengthen my hips and core. Not only did he send a youtube link with the videos but also took the time to demonstrate and explain the purpose and expected result to each stretch and exercise. I also receieved dry needling to my low back to help improve muscle tightness. I now workout, focusing on my correct form/posture and pain-free, thanks to Iron Standard. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Had shoulder pain due to volleyball. Couple of sessions later I can tell my shoulder is healing.

Experiencia fantástica: The whole team at Iron Standard was great. Everyone’s very helpful and will work together to help you reach your potential for sure.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been working with Taylor for almost a year now and my mind and body has improved significantly. From debilitating neck pain to a physically active lifestyle, the care and attention I’ve received has been second to none. Starting with dry needling and stretching we moved to workouts to specifically target weaknesses, faulty movements and a stagnant lifestyle. It was the boost I needed to move towards the active lifestyle I craved for so long. Taylor even curated a comprehensive workout plan for a two month work trip I had to keep me moving and motivated. Response times were very quick and always had a solution for what I was going through. I can’t recommend Iron Standard Physical Therapy enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Thankful for the staff at Iron Standard for listening to my needs and adjusting the therapy for what I personally needed. Mitchell meets me at a place that is convenient for me which I totally appreciate due to a very hectic schedule. These guys are moving up so you better get on the train while you can!

Experiencia fantástica: Please trust me when I tell you I have done A LOT of PT throughout my life, but I have NEVER been blessed with the help I have received through Iron Standard. Hands down the most positive results and personal attention I have ever received recovering from an issue. Substantially more unique and personal attention as well as follow up in between appointments. Unlike other PT locations I have worked with in the past, this group truly desires HEALING for you, even if that means you never need them again. I will never suggest any other group than IRON STANDARD! Hands down, the BEST!!!! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Iron Standard Physical Therapy with a neck issue that was causing severe pain in my arm that made it almost unbearable to do any work or activity that wasn't simply sitting on a comfortable couch. My PT was able to reduce the pain almost immediately and provided a daily list of exercises that helped improve my injury almost everyday. With just a few weekly visits he was able to continue adjusting my program until most of the pain was pretty much gone. The thorough approach and appropriate amount of checking in throughout the week was very helpful in continued improvement of my injury. I chose Iron Standard because of their connection to the gym community and their flexibility with appointment times and locations. Very, very personable. I would absolutely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: After three months of post-op physical therapy 2-3 times per week at traditional corporate PT providers, I was extremely disappointed with the results and seriously doubting if I would ever be able to rock climb again. So I decided to give PT one last try by finding an out-of-network provider. That’s when I found Iron Standard PT in Birmingham. Iron Standard took an entirely different approach to my rehab. Instead of having me pull on light resistance bands for two minutes at a time, my PT sessions at Iron Standard were more like athletic or strength training sessions. The results: I was back climbing after four weekly sessions with Iron Standard and I’ve regained almost all of my range of motion. They deserve all the credit for my shoulder surgery recovery. I don’t think I’d be climbing today if it weren’t for the folks at Iron Standard. If you’re looking to return to a high level of physical activity after surgery or injury, these are the people who can get you there.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Iron Standard Physical Therapy has been my best physical therapy experience I have had. The one on one approach gives more time to getting to the root of the problem. Time is given to listening to a full history of the injury (or prior injuries that might be an impact on the current injury) with reevaluation each session.

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Standard is simply the best around! Everyone is knowledgeable, fun, and they love to educate. They keep me in tip top shape so that I am able to continue my workouts without any hinderance. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great and convenient service! I started working with Taylor due to ten years of suffering from migraines. I haven’t had a migraine in six months since my dry needling treatments! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Taylor did a great job assessing and diagnosis what was causing my limited mobility and pain. He took the time to understand how I may be over or under compensating on different movements and I learned a lot about proper form and technique. The dry needling and stretching helped reduce the inflammation and increase mobility before training. The exercises included stretching and basic core movements before eventually ramping up to more dynamic weight lifting by my fourth session. Taylor also provided at home stretching and exercise routines. I would highly recommend Iron Standard Physical Therapy.
